Open Letter to the development Team.

[Ranaku]

"A hotfix or quick-fix engineering update (QFE update) is a single, cumulative package that includes information (often in the form of one or more files) that is used to address a problem in a software product (i.e., a software bug). Typically, hotfixes are made to address a specific customer situation."

Or the definition from Oxford Languages: "a small piece of code developed to correct a major software bug or fault and released as quickly as possible."

The definition you still have in mind is outdated and that makes me giggle. Also you don't know if the systems aren't still running, just cause you don't have access to the servers atm doesn't mean they are shut down for maintenance.

Edit: I do however really like the fact, makes me giggle too, that you get your definition from Wowpedia. Which refers to the hotfixes that Blizzard makes on their game. WHICH IS NOT THE STANDARD DEFINITION FOR THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY. But it does make for a good giggle, yeah!
